Hope this works!

Sending the following in two parts:

Saw this car for sale in the showroom near Eagle River Wisconsin on 11 
July and thought I'd pass it along to the list.I have no financial 
interest, etc., just want to see it get to a good home.I do not know the 
owner or Mark, owner of the shop, but I like to stop in occasionally and 
window shop.BTW, when I looked today there was a red Midget MkIII just 
leaving.Car looked gorgeous.Anyone on the list?(Bueller?Anyone?)

For further info on the car described below please contact:

Mark Zupan

Eagle Collision Center, Inc.

1040 Hwy. 45 South

Eagle River WI 54521

ph: 715.479.4311

Their bread and butter is collision repair but they really do 
restorations of classic cars. I've been there when they had an MGA, TR3, 
Packard Caribbean convertible, '67 Firebird, big Healey, and they have a 
Marmon phaeton arriving.

OK, the Sprite:Mark is only selling it for his friend.Eagle Collision 
has done little, if any work on it.The owner started the restoration and 
lost interest and/or needs $$$$.

*Condition:*

Car looks mostly original (some questionable bits.)

Exterior of car is finished very nicely.

Color is close to Primrose Yellow as are the wheels.I'd give the paint a 
4 with 5 being the best.

Bumpers and grill and other trim look good.

No chips or cracks in the windscreen. Quarter lights (crotch coolers) 
are good.

New "E-Z On Auto Top" (it needs to be in the sun to get it latched.)

Original floor panels (no holes, no filler, some surface rust)

Body looked sound and wrinkle free as I sighted down the sides.I did not 
have my magnet with me to check for Taco Bell wrappers, etc.

Original dash and gauges and everything is as it should be.

Mountney steering wheel.

New entire front bulkhead (vertical piece behind M/C, battery, and where 
the wiring harness passes through).Installation was nicely done.

New muffler (correct type) but exhaust pipe has been on the car while it 
was running(it's solid and OK).

Engine reportedly has been worked on (Being in the showroom we didn't 
start it.) According to the numbers, the engine has been replaced; see 
"Numbers" below.

End of Part1
